I'm trying to get into chess right now.

That's the new thing that I'm doing.

Nice.

So bad at it.

Peters is pretty good. Yeah, Peters is good. I was looking at

Elo, like the 700s. This is a great chess city.

What is it? What's a good school? Like over a thousand. Over a thousand after a while.

400 straight days. How what are you at? Like at a 5.50. Yeah, it's hard as shit.

You have to, you have to, you have to get to a point where you start reading about it, though. You have to, like, read opening strategies. Yeah, you need to, like, you need to get to a point where you're actually studying. Dude, I did. So I, like, learned the opening strategy, like, get everything towards the middle, obviously. and like you want to build around the four center and the ring around.

Yeah, but and then it's just it's after that.

From there, it's just it's after there's like I'm lost but

there's like there's like openings which are like you follow a pattern for yeah yeah seven straight moves

yeah yeah that's I learned like one of them yeah but then But then, but I, so I can open, but I cannot close. I could do the open. Your end game's no good. Perfect. And then it just comes collapsing down. Yeah. Well, so be it. To some dude in Pakistan. Yeah, right. I get so, I've said this. I, I stop playing because I would get so mad at those fucking guys. Dude, my, my, like your country treats women like their fucking cattle. My ELO is so low. Like, it's like it, my ELO is someone who doesn't know what the, what the players, what each piece does. Like, that's, that's how low it is. It's like the, it's the equivalent to someone who's never played the game before But if you start beating people that have higher ones I can't beat people with I can't beat the robot On the lowest Alright Might just not be for me honestly Can't close Can't close Glenn Gary I'm not I've realized I'm not good at anything except maybe this.

Don't say that. I'm bad at everything. Don't say that. Yeah. Don't say that. Don't say that. That's not true. That's not true. It's true. That's not true. It's devastating. It sucks. Like I had a feeling when I was younger.

I was like, I'm pretty bad at a lot of things.

But now it's like, I think the only things that I'm kind of good at are this and stand up. Well, that's fine. Those are your pursuits. What's wrong with that? Who wants to be good at their job? Being good at your job is the most important thing to be good at. You want to be good at the thing that you go home to do after your job. No, that's a hobby. It doesn't matter if you're good at that. But it's way more fun being good at the hobby than it is your job. Yeah, but you have like, you still have like these aspirational hobbies instead of like internalize hobbies. Like, be good at cooking. Yeah, that's the thing. Like that's only, like, it's just, like, satisfies you. Like yeah be good at cooking yeah that's like that's only

it's like it's just like satisfies you like be good at like taking care of your house or like be a good

dad that's the so that's be a good dad exactly and that's what I was going to say is like right now

you know you don't have kids yeah so the thing you this is the thing this is all you need to
